Where There's Smoke

by Kiki Swinson Narrated by Vance Goodwin, Anna Lynn Wright

Overview

In her nationally bestselling novels, Kiki Swinson ignites an unforgettable portrait of Dirty South scheming, greed, desire-and brutal dead ends. Now the stakes have never been more lethal as a compromised female firefighter starts burning down her all-too-corrupt past ...

KILL YOUR SECRETS ...
Volunteer Virginia Beach firefighter Alayna Curry used to pride herself on saving lives. But now, determined to conceal her part in an arson-for-insurance scam gone bad, she's using her skills to have the scheme's leader, Tim-her ex-lover-shot dead, claiming it was a robbery.
She's carefully set him up to be the ultimate fall guy. And she's ruthlessly aiming to silence more witnesses-which will also get her beloved brother Alonzo out of prison ...

CONCEAL YOUR LIES ...
... Until Alayna has to desperately defend herself against Tim's vengeful wife and his other grieving side piece's very public accusations, all while fighting to stay steps ahead of the fellow firefighters she betrayed-and the husband she's long past fallen out of love with ...

WATCH YOUR BACK ...
With a determined FBI agent and the police pulling apart her story-and her lies bit by bit, Alayna recklessly plays her most dangerous trump card to free Alonzo and clear her name for good. But will one body too many be the catalyst that finally blows her chances of escape, and survival, to pieces?

"Edgy street fiction with an extra dose of suspense...For MadameNoire loyalists with an addiction to street stories, Kiki Swinson's latest book is a strong follow-up to her much talked about novel, The Score. Kiki Swinson has raised the bar with The Mark, not only because of the cat and mouse theme that sits between the pages but also because of the ocean-deep suspense that runs all through it." —MadameNoire

"Breathless suspense explodes on practically every page, highlighted by scenes of violence and merciless, execution-style murders. Lauren comes off as something of Superwoman who performs feats of strength two days after giving birth, but that just adds to the page-turning appeal. Swinson's name will generate strong interest." —Library Journal
